Music Videos Re-visited

[nikki1920]

The second famous person, I think, is Whitney Houston. During the resturant scene, she is sitting behind Missy. Its kinda hard to see. What's up with the Bees in the video, though?

I hope this isn't already posted...I searched...ok I skimmed and didn't find anything.
Ok, did anyone see the will smith video w/ jada singing in it?? sooo is she like trying to get into the music industry now?? please say it ain't so. I like jada and all, but another actor turned singer....i just can't handle it!
The video is called "1,000 kisses" and it's borrowed from Luther's rendition of it. It's a cute video and all. Jada's voice isn't bad...I just hope she doesn't try to do the JLo thing. Why can't actors just be actors and singers be singers??

[JinglesSpr99]

I didn't see Jada's new video. But I saw her and missy on 106th and park towards the end. I don't know if you guys have heard this about christina's video yet. I heard it on mtv and on the radio home.
'Dirrty' Christina Aguilera Video Thai-ed To Sex Industry

"I had absolutely no knowledge that this poster contained such offensive words, and I sincerely regret the insult." — "Dirrty" director David LaChapelle


Scenes in Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty" video contain images that are suggestive, sexy and downright lewd. One particular moment, however, advertises something that's simply illegal.

Two posters seen in the video feature Thai script that translates to read "Thailand's Sex Tourism" and "Young Underage Girls" — references to Thailand's much-criticized, tourist-driven sex industry. The signs can be seen during Aguilera's boxing-ring sequence (see "Christina's 'Dirrty' Makes Some Fans Ill, Others Hot To Eat Her Toes").

A spokesperson for Aguilera's U.S. label, RCA Records, said that the posters were obtained by a non-Thai-speaking member of director David LaChapelle's production company and that the singer had no idea what they promoted (Click for photos from the video).

"I had absolutely no knowledge that this poster contained such offensive words, and I sincerely regret the insult," LaChapelle said in a statement. "Thailand is a beautiful country with a long cultural history that I truly respect. I would never intentionally do anything to insult the people of Thailand. Please accept my deepest apologies."

In response to protests in Thailand, Aguilera's Thai label has prohibited the video's play on local television stations, according to a BMG International spokesperson.

The Thai government said it would take action if the video proves to be damaging to the country's reputation, according to the Associated Press, but didn't specify how or to what extent.

I saw this video today on 106 and Park. Jada said that she IS NOT trying to become a singer but basically did the song because Will asked her to do it. I thought the video was cute, especially when they busted out the Kid-N-Play kid step.

I post on another forum about the video and all I can say is that I really liked it. It felt good to see a black couple having fun . Sometimes I get sick of the usually gang banging, bling bling, wanna smoke a blunt, sex-type videos.

[MeezDiscreet]

who has seen the new video for aaliyah's song (i think it's called "i miss you.")? it was really touching. i literally got chills watching it!

mariah carey's video for "through the rain" is cinematcally (if that is a word) compelling...but that damn song and video is boring. but, i am happy to see her releasing another ballad...a three-word ballad at that..(let's not forget "honey" and "glitter" and whatnot).

why does justin timberlake look like a stalker in his new video, cry me a river. and that chick looks a LOT like britney spears

j.lo...PUT YOUR SHIRT DOWN!! i can't even get past the nekkidness in this video. it really bothers me. and ben affleck rubbing...then kissing her booty!!! eeeeew!

i'll tell you what song and video is so funny to me: sick of being lonely by field mob. i laugh everytime i see them clowns crawling through the club to get away from their women. and not that they are cute, but they definitely look better than when they first came out.

and that damn kelis looks a fool with her striped lipstick in angie martinez' new video! she can't even press her lips together so she looks really crazy.

maybe i'm crazy but does anyone else notice the unnecessary tongue-action whitney is giving in her new video for "one of them days?" just watch and see what i'm talking about.

and for her husband, does he really think the hook for "thug loving" with ja rule is that gangsta? and watch that fool throughout the video. the "cocaine-like substance" got that man pop-locking, pelvic-thrusting, moon-walking, kicking and jumping to a beat that is slow!

and nokio looks a bit crackish in dru hill's video for the song, "i should be." and sisquo got red hair!! but has the nerve to try to dispel "THE RUMORS." whateva!

and what's up with beyonce's hooker-red lipstick in that video with jay-z?

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW...

[MS_CHRIS]

CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S NEW VIDEO "YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL" OR SOMETHIN LIKE THAT IS A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN HER "DIRRTY" VIDEO.

AND WHY IS PUFF DADDY MAKIN VIDEOS WITH B2K

[librasoul22]

I like the video for Eve "Satisfaction".

Yes, Justin is a scary, scary stalker, lol.

Kelis is my girl, man. I like when she smears it off at the end, lol. I can't wait til some people try to wear that mess in real life.

Thug Lovin can suck it. I hate the song, hate the video, blah, arg *vomit*

Err...not many videos out lately.

I will watch TV later and try to post more.

[Gina1201]

I like 50 Cent's new video "Wanksta" because I love that song, even though it is kind of old! I especially like the end when he makes the crack about Ja Rule being a wanksta! That had me ROFL when I first saw the video.

[2Tuff2Quit]

OK, there are some really good video's out there, BUT there are also some out that make me go "hmmmmmmmmm"(remember that!!??) or just "ewwwwwww".
Some of the ones that I am feelin':
1. Aaliyah- Miss You (this has to be one of the best tribute videos
ever, it had me crying the first time I saw it)
2.Common and Mary J.- It is growning on me..it's cute with a nice
message.
3.Eminem- Lose Yourself (This has become my Get Hype song!)
4.Field Mob- Sick of Being Lonely (It is funny to me..that is all I
can say!)
5.Justin Timberlake- Cry Me a River(If I was ever to be down with
the swirl....you just don't know )

NOW those that I can do without:
1st and Foremost : Anything with Ja Rule, Ashanti, Bobby Brown, 504 Boyz, P. Diddy (except the B2K one ..guilty pleasures ), Clipse, Beyonce, Jenny (someone needs to tell her to keep her DAMN clothes on...I don't want to see that ish ), Lil John and the Eastside boys (Is there a 6 word limit to their songs or something??), and finally "Whitey Hutton"..don't act like you don't remember that episode of Martin when they were selling T-Shirts..

Well as they say.."That's all Folks!!"

[poodleNtraining]

I was laughing so hard when I saw Justin Timberlake's Cry Me a River. That girl was BLATANTLY supposed to be Britney, I mean, she looked JUST like her (from the nose down, you saw how she had her head down, so that was all you saw), same kinda outfit and hat and all.

I saw the making the video for J. Ho, I mean Lo, and they were trying to make it all seem natural. But, I don't know about yall, but who dances in the house in a sweater and panties? It was supposed to be part how paparatzi's take pics of her and spin them wrong, like the one where they're at the table outside, she had something in her eye, but the way they took the shot was so it looked like they were fighting and she was crying, stuff like that.

The Common video is too cute, especially when you realize the girl is deaf.

I'm going to need for Bobby Brown to sit down and not make not another video, EVER!!! That's all I gotta say about that.

Ok, maybe I'm lost, but what's with the little dancing white kids in videos? I'm talking about the girl in Missy's video and the boy that danced with Puffy at the VMA's. Are they special? I'm not trying to be funny in ANY WAY, but it seemed odd and I didn't know if they were well known or something, nothing against them or anything, AT ALL!

That Jay-Z/ Beyonce duo is whack. I have to change the channel when it comes on. That red lipstick IS a mess, and what was up with the high heeled Tims?? My friend told me to watch for them like they were the bomb (or I'd've never watched the video) and they were ugly. Kelly/Nelly definately did a better job, so I guess Kelly is gonna upstage ole Beyonce.

And lastly, did you all see how Solange can't decide if she's Bow Wow's girl or Lil' Romeo's? LOL, she's singing on Romeo's song, and was in Bow Wow's video Puppy Love. SHe had her own video out, and it was cute. I liked her micros, so I guess she went to the gallery instead of having Mama Knowles do them LMAO!!!

That video makes me uncomfortable for some reason...maybe it's the two men kissing...the drag queen...the girl with the busted lip?

B2K is too young to be singin' about the club and some "bump, bump, bump"

Thanks

At the end of the video he goes up to his son, who is playing with the "Wanksta" doll. He holds up the doll and the doll has a chain on with a giant guitar pendant, similar to the pendant that Ja Rule wears. I didn't catch it at first, but one of my friends pointed it out for me. 50 also has a song on a Kay Slay mixtape where he talks about all of Murder Inc., except for Ashanti Go figure!

[MeezDiscreet]

1. a dance breakdown (even if the artist really can't dance)
2. Nekkidness (you used to only find that with male artists...females are doing it now too)
3. Cameos from your producer (What up Gotti?)
4. Guest rappers (note: female r&b singer MUST mouth every other bar of the rap)
5. Jazze Phea, Puff Daddy, Loon, or Jadakiss
6. Cristal (anybody ever taste this stuff? is it as good as they make it to be)
7. That one video girl with the big lips that looks like she's frowning all the time (i know ya'll have seen her)
8. Comedic relief ("SHAWWWTAY" in the Clipse's viceo; Ced the Entertainer in Nelly's; Tommy Davidson in Snoop's; etc...)
9. Not that we don't miss celebrities that have passed and not that celebrities don't miss people who were close to them who have passed, but everybody has a "R.I.P." or "In Memory Of..." in their video
10. At least one white/latin chick in the background (can be substituded with or accompanied by a dancing child of any race)

*Bonus: can be based on an actual movie (example: "Luv You Better")
